Photo Flash: First Look at Denis O'Hare and Lisa Peterson's THE GOOD BOOK at Court Theatre
Court Theatre Artistic Director Charles Newell and Executive Director Stephen J. Albert present the World Premiere of The Good Book by Denis O'Hare and Lisa Peterson, directed by Lisa Peterson. The Good Book runs now through April 19, 2015 at Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis Avenue. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
In this highly original world premiere play, O'Hare and Peterson (An Iliad) weave stories of devotion and doubt into their very own creation myth about the place where human faith and divine inspiration intersect: the Bible. As fifteen-year-old Connor struggles to reconcile his identity with his dream of becoming a priest and modern-day Biblical scholar Miriam wrestles to resolve her crisis of faith, they lead us through an incredible exploration on how the Bible was conceived. From ancient Judea to medieval Ireland to suburban America, The Good Book is a powerful and exuberant journey through the most influential book in Western history.
The cast of The Good Book includes Kareem Bandealy, Emjoy Gavino, Allen Gilmore, Erik Hellman, Hollis Resnik, Alex Weisman and Jacqueline Williams.
The creative team includes Rachel Hauck (scenic design), Linda Roethke (costume design), Keith Parham (lighting design), Mark Bennett (sound design), Mike Tutaj (projection design) and Amanda Weener-Fredrick (production stage manager).
